Ive been a die hard Steeler fan since I was old enough to say "TOUCHDOWN!"
Im in hog heaven right now.

LETS GO STEELERS LETS GO!!!!!

Tonight was an awsome hard hitting game and Big Ben does it again

Oh come on. The Steelers are hot now, but come playoff time, you think a rookie QB can get it done? Give me Indy from the AFC, Philly from the NFC, then we'll have a SuperBowl that's really gonna be worth watching.

Indy won't come out of the AFC unless Manning can find a way to score 100 points in each playoff game. Indys defense is horrible, and Both the Pats and Stealers can hold Peyton Mannning down enough to win. Eagles and Pats in the super bowl.

Excuse me, but didnt the Steelers already not only beat both the Pats and Eagles, but demoralize both of them?

Defense and running games wins championships. Pittsburgh has the #1 Defense AND the #1 running game. The passing game is just a bonus. Indy DOES scare me, but Pittsburgh's zone blitz defense which they brought back this year after a 5 year absence has confused some of the greats of all time including Marino on numerous occasions. Look what it did to Brady and McNabb. Indy's defense is like swiss cheese.

NE will be tough to beat twice in one season, but it can be done.

Indy is a good team but no matter what they have to win on the road in January in either New England or Pittsburgh. The Steelers new field is known for swirling winds already now imagine what happens to the wind in the wnter New England is almost the same. That being said Indys defence wil not stop either teams rushing attack. As for Big Ben being a rookie so what. When Brady won his first super bowl how much NFL experience did he have? Its been proven that QB's who limit mistakes will win super bowls Bucs and Ravens did it with Defence and running. So it will be either New England or Pittsburgh vs the Eagles. It depends a lot on who will have home field in the playoffs.

the steeler's offense hasn't been very impressive recently. They have been winning on defense. If the Pats get healthy, they are gonna take some nice revenge on the steelers in the playoffs because they will have a defensive game plan to beat them. Pats have the full package and the bus is just about out of gas.

The Bus is out of gas? They dont even need him. Hes only going to get 8 carries a game. I guess you didnt see him put together 4 100 yard games in a row?

Staley is averaging 4.7 yards/carry. They have the #1 running game in the league. Their offense hasnt been impressive lately because they just played Wash who has the #2 defense in the league and Jax who isnt bad on defense either. Not too mention that Plaxico Burress missed both those games. They were without their deep threat and best running back against Wash.

The Rams were a dome team and did just fine in the playoffs. Won one and got pretty damn close to winning a second one. They, too, had all O and no D. Come to think of it, their D might have been worse than Indy's during their first super bowl win. And Indy is much improved from last year. Their offense is clearly clicking much better and they got James back. Wayne and Stokley are stepping up big time too. And last year they still kept the game pretty close despite putting on a horrible offensive performance on Offense.

I'm not saying Indy will necessarily win but they are better prepared to win in the playoffs now than they ever were before. If I had to put my money on anyone from the AFC it would still be on the Patriots but I think the Colts are a close second and Pitt is a close third. I know you will disagree but that's how I see it and until they can prove themselves in the playoffs I'll take the teams that have been making it in the past.

If you are talking about the Rams last year, their defense was pretty good, especially at getting turnovers.

As for the colts, they may have the fire power to get through one of the two real teams, Pitt or NE, but not both.
